b2memB2MeM Prompt and Path: “I love the silent hour of night, For blissful dreams may then arise, Revealing to my charmed sight What may not bless my waking eyes. “ Anne Brontë - Purple
Format: Ficlet
Genre: Angst
Rating: General
Warnings: N/A
Characters: Maglor
Pairings: N/A
Creator’s Notes (optional): Apparently I am incapable of writing a Maglor who is both grown up and does not have angst going on.
Summary: Makalaurë, Kanafinwë, and Maglor are the same person, but they dream of different things.
Makalaurë dreams of adoring crowds, with his mother and father smiling together in the crowd, as his grandparents stand with his aunts and uncles. All of them applaud as he finished, and he sees Nelyo pick the twins up and balance them on his shoulders, his other brothers crowded around as well.
Kanafinwë dreams of a ship docked on a deserted shore, and his youngest brothers departing it together after he speaks up and says they should check the ship one more time, to make sure nobody fell asleep on it. He doesn’t remark on his father’s eyeroll, even in a dream, because here his father is rolling his eyes because they both remember that time the twins managed to fall asleep in a grain bin. Here his father is less paranoid, more likely to listen to arguments that revenge will be easier with more people – and if Ñolofinwë wanted to turn back, he could have gone with Arafinwë, and if he wanted to be King, wasn’t it better to have him here where they could keep an eye on any plots? Surely , it’d be better to have Arafinwë as King of the Noldor in Valinor, because he won’t argue with the Valar, whereas Ñolofinwë does.
Then he dreams of a ship returning, with Findekáno on it, and his brother clasping his cousin with both hands.
Maglor dreams of his family together again.
This time, he doesn’t dream about an adoring crowds with them.
